Team Science Coffee Break Series

Description

Haera Han, professor and associate dean for community programs and initiatives at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, and Irina Koyfman, a nurse practitioner and doctor of nursing practice, will present "Cultivating an Effective Study Team Through Application of Community-Engaged Research Principles" as part of the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research's Community and Collaboration Core's Team Science Coffee Break. This session will provide a case study of a research team to conduct a multi-site clinical trial with immigrant older adults and their caregiver dyads (PLAN trial).

Currently in project year 5, the presenters will share approaches and lessons learned for building and managing the PLAN team involving community partners and members from the immigrant community as essential part of the team structure for trust building, recruitment, intervention delivery, and dissemination of study findings.
